Delicious food and a great selection of beverages. I highly recommend the truffle pancetta spaghetti. The chicken schnitzel was really good too. Generous portions and they had a chef’s two for one meal deal which had some very good options to choose from. The ambience is very nice and comfortable, especially upstairs. The downstairs staff were very lovely, however there’s a bit of inconsistency with the level of service between staff. We asked the guy upstairs if we could switch one of the tvs to watch the tennis and he said he couldn’t due to free to air contractual reasons. As we wrapped up dinner to go watch the tennis at home we noticed one of the downstairs tvs had the tennis on. It would have been nice if we were aware of this and we would have gladly spent the entire night here watching the remainder matches.

My new local favourite! Freshly renovated with a delicious new menu – I've been here twice recently and love the food. They've got all my favourite pub meals but also some more refined mains and lots of delicious snacky things that go perfectly with a drink or two. My absolute favourite is the hoisin chicken lollipops!! So addictive. My go-to main is the crispy skin salmon with roasted beetroot, goats curd and herb vinaigrette. And, possibly the best part – their courtyard is pooch friendly!! Their upstairs area is also really beautiful and elegant, which is perfect for functions and events. I recently attended their Wine Dinner event and it was absolutely stunning. The quality of food was exceptional and staff were incredibly professional and lovely! Will come back again and again.

Used to be a fun of this nice pub and I have given them 5 star rating before. However the recently experience made me not want to go there anymore. The experience was bad in terms of food and service. By the way, I rarely give any rating that is less than 4 stars. This time it was extremely disappointing. Regarding the food. Please see the photo attached. That plate of steak and salad will cost you 44 bucks. On the menu it says the eye fillet is 200 grams. Honestly, I have never seen a steak smaller than my fist, even though it is 200 grams. The staff there says the weight is before cooking. This should be clearly reported in the menu if you decide to show the raw weight of your steak. I totally understand that food industry is experiencing a difficult time, however, this kind of "cheating" action disappointed me. Next time if you go there, make sure bring a weight with you. Regarding the service, the staff who serviced me made me feel like I was racially discriminated. I would not comment too much on this, but everyone who wants to know what I meant should go there and experience their service. I understand They arr a pub and no service should be expected, but at least, treating your customer like a normal person instead barely say anything when we are ordering. Given a two star rating because the stake was well cooked to the requested level, and therefore it was tasty. The atmosphere in the pub was good as well.

Lovely pub that's HUGE, especially for the Inner West. Great for groups, there's seating downstairs, outside, upstairs and out on the balcony. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on my pub rating scale. For a pub, I want a nice place to sit, a friendly bartender, some good options on tap, and descent food (that includes veggie options) This place ticks the boxes. And the balcony seating is a real bonus. Kid-friendly as well. We went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy. With kiddos, we waited a bit longer than we would have liked for our food, but ai think we just happened to place our order behind an even bigger group. Newly renovated.

as a brit in Aus i am always on the hunt for a good Sunday Roast. The chicken roast was really nice and a generous serving!! the only fault i would say is the roast potatoes. these are my favourite part of the roast but these ones were more like wedges. they were very tasty i would just say if not doing trad roast potatoes to give a few more spuds! i only got 3 little wedges so i would recommend less broccoli and more potato which is also cheaper for the pub 😝 staff were rather miserable but i’ve worked in hospo a fair deal over the years and fair enough i guess 😂😅

At very late notice we had to move our outdoor wedding ceremony indoors due to rain, and Jason, the licensee, went above and beyond to accommodate us. He arranged the furniture in the upstairs space so all we had to do was show up and decorate. Everything was perfect and I can’t thank him enough. Jason is truly meant for hospitality because he was so obliging and accommodating and turned a stressful time into the best possible outcome. Forever indebted. I highly recommend hosting your next event at the Harold, Jason and team were an absolute dream to work with.
